Consumer complaint kaise file karun? Kya lawyer zaroori hai?
Simple answer
Lawyer zaroori nahi. Aap e-Jagriti par online case file karke khud argue kar sakte ho. 2 saal ke andar complaint karo. ₹50 lakh tak pay kiya ho toh District Commission jao; ₹5 lakh tak koi fees nahi.
Real-life examples
Arjun ne ₹80,000 ka laptop kharida jo baar-baar kharab hota raha. Company Bengaluru ki hai, phir bhi usne apne shehar Jaipur mein e-Jagriti par case kiya. Price ₹5 lakh se kam thi, isliye koi fees nahi lagi aur usne khud case lada.
Lakshmi ka dispute ₹1.2 crore ke flat ka hai. Usne ₹50 lakh se zyada pay kiya hai, isliye uski complaint District Commission nahi, State Commission mein jayegi.
Rahul ne kharab AC ki complaint karne mein teen saal laga diye. Complaint late hai, isliye use delay ki solid wajah (sufficient cause) batani hogi. Wajah na maani gayi toh Commission case sunne se mana kar sakta hai.
